LIZZY BORDEN: 'Under Your Skin' Video Available

LIZZY BORDEN's video for the song "Under Your Skin" can be viewed below. (Note: Video stream may not be available to some non-U.S. residents.) The clip will be aired on MTV2's "Headbangers Ball" on Saturday, March 28.

Commented LIZZY BORDEN vocalist/namesake: "After our last video, 'Tomorrow Never Comes', was nominated for video of the year on MTV's 'Headbangers Ball', we thought we had to step up the visuals big time on our next one.

"For the 'Under Your Skin' video, we knew we wanted a storyline that mirrored the lyrics to the song. I wrote 'Skin' about the teenage phenomenon that is happening to one out of every two hundred teenage (mostly girls). That phenomenon is called cutting.

"The video for 'Under Your Skin' follows the lives of three very different girls, a rich girl neglected by her parents, a cheerleader with a 'nothing's-ever-good-enough' mother and a poor girl with an alcoholic father. The girls all have complete opposite backgrounds but share the same big secret — they all cut themselves.

"In the video, Death (played by me) stalks the girls just waiting for the one who, on this occasion, will cut a little too deep.

"We recruited first-time director Ann Potenza for the job; she understood this song completely and wrote a great treatment that we all loved right away. She then recruited director of photography, Gigi Malavasi, to complete the team. Joey Scott (drummer of LIZZY BORDEN) and Ann scouted locations and hired our cast (the rich girl in the video is my niece, Christina Farr).

"We wanted something that would showcase the song and the band, but with this video we got a whole lot more.

"My goal has always been to entertain, but if we can bring awareness to something like this, all the better.

"I was at a party recently talking to some girl and telling her that our new video was about cutting. She showed me the scars on her arm; that's how common this is.

"Hope you like the video, and if you are or know someone that cuts themselves, check out the PSA at the end of the video; there is information that may help."

Guitarist Ira Black announced his departure from LIZZY BORDEN last month. The axeman, who previously played with METAL CHURCH, VICIOUS RUMORS and HEATHEN, recently joined PROPHESY, the new U.S./German group featuring vocalist Brian O'Connor (ex-VICIOUS RUMORS) and guitarist Fabian Schwarz (PARADOX, RUNAMOK, THE NEW BLACK).

Former LIZZY BORDEN guitarist Corey Daum (a.k.a. Corey James) was killed in a car crash on January 24, 2009 in Nashville, Tennessee. He was 39 years old. According to The Tennessean, a Kentucky man was charged with vehicular homicide after police said he drove into a concrete wall, killing Daum.

Daum was a member of LIZZY BORDEN from 1989 to 1996, although he didn't appear on any of the band's studio albums.

Another former LIZZY BORDEN guitarist, Alex Nelson, was killed in a head-on collision on May 17, 2004.
